jtvalue Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi maxprogram - if you don't mind my asking where did you find that data about Buffett's holdings in the 1950's? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshiremystery Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think that data might come from Robert Miles. Here s also the same information: http://www.futureblind.com/2008/08/early-berkshire-hathaway-letters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
